Hi can anyone point me to a spin file I can use or tutorial on creating a video transmitter using the prop chip to broadcast live video from a video camera? Is it even possible?

    It will probably be illegal. What frequency do you want to use. What sort of camera?

    In the USA, if you have a Ham radio Technician license or higher, you can transmit TV. Check out:

    But the frequencies are so high, I doubt you could transmit anything very "live" via Propeller without some other component serving as a transmitter.

    While the Prop can produce a NTSC (of PAL) video signal, it can't capture a full resolution NTSC signal.

    I have some Propeller machine vision links in post #4 of my index.

    For what you want to do, a video transmitter/receiver pair would probably be the easiest solution.

    This question seemed a bit familiar; I see that you never received a full answer to your similar question here.

    I think using the Prop to transmit video has problems if you what to do it over anything but very short distances.
